Senior Designer, Engineering
Job Description
At Edwards, we put patients first. We invest a significant proportion of our revenue towards research and development to drive and develop groundbreaking medical innovations for structural heart disease. As part of our R&D Engineering team, the Senior Designer, Engineering will work closely with our R&D and New Product Development teams to develop the latest tools and technologies to address significant, unmet clinical needs that impact patients’ lives around the world. Aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation impact millions of people globally, yet these conditions often remain under-diagnosed and under-treated. Edwards' groundbreaking work in transcatheter aortic heart valve replacement (TAVR) pioneered an innovative, life-changing solution for patients by offering heart valve replacement without the need for open heart surgery. Today, our Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) business unit continues to pioneer next-generation innovations for patients with both aortic stenosis (AS) and aortic regurgitation (AR). We bring together Clinical Affairs, Engineering, and Research professionals who partner with cardiologists and clinical teams to design and develop minimally invasive therapies supported by clinical evidence, transforming cardiovascular care and addressing unmet patient needs in structural heart disease. It's our driving force to help patients live longer, healthier lives.
